Water Conservation Measure
(Environmental Protection Committee Meeting of July 29, 1992)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this report is to update Municipal Council on water
conservation measures.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS :

Due to the watering restrictions imposed by the Greater Vancouver Regional

District,

the Environmental Protection Committee has requested that Council

and the residents of Port Coquitlam be provided with the following helpful
hints for conserving water:

1.

Turn the water off when brushing your teeth instead of running it
continuously. Use water from a mug for rinsing.

Place a water filled jar or plastic container in your toilet tank, or
adjust the float downwards. You will use less water on every flush.

Use energy efficient shower-heads or take “sailor's showers" by turning
off the water while you are soaping and shampooing and then rinsing off
quickly.

Avoid overcutting your grass. Grass should be kept around 6.5
centimetres (2 1/2 inches) high. Taller grasa holds water batter.
